Trying Out Wattpad: A Beta-Reading Experience

Roger Colby, Novelist's avatarWriting Is Hard Work

I have known about Wattpad.com for some time now, but have never thought about giving it a go until now.  I do have many beta-readers who will read my novels and give great commentary and criticism, but nothing beats a host of strangers reading your novel and then telling you what they think.

If they like it, and you publish it, you may have a ton of readers who will buy the book just to finish reading the thing.  They might even tweet it or share it with their friends and build a grass-roots following.

So here are the first three chapters of “The Last Terran”, the first book in “The Five Rims” series.  I appreciate feedback, votes, and above all honest criticism.  Thanks in advance.
